>>>Question.. I have 3 tables I am putting into 3 dif. comboboxes.. they all have memo fields in the tables. Unfortunately, the data in the memo fields is what I need displayed in the dropdown combobox. when I just select it in properties for rowsource = 6 the combobox listing just says "memo" and not the actual info in the memo. Anyway I can set it up so that the combobox will list the information in the memo field?

>I like this idea. You can show, say, 30 first chars of Memo in a combo and show the whole Memo in EditBox near this combo. You can create a container class for this functionality, which is very simple to implement (just use Combo.InteractiveChange to refresh the EditBox)

Thanks... Every once in a while I actually contribute something rather than just ask, and ask, and ask...(and ask...) :-)
